Hiding
After taking a detour from the first large cluster of bubbles, Sam encountered many more living creatures in the area and he even saw some sea folks occasionally.
Most of the time he just hid from them without causing much trouble.
But soon he saw this transcendent level sea folk swimming in the water along with these corpses in the bubble and he is not alone.
There is a large octopus along with him that is following around and this octopus seemed to have a larger sensory field. No matter how much Sam tried to avoid and hide, this octopus led the sea folk to his direction and just when he thought he got them off his back and tried to escape in a different direction, he was greeted with them out of nowhere.
It turned out that the octopus is not just good at sensing others, it is also good at disguising.
This is a beast that Sam couldn't recognize which means, it might be a mutant of this realm that was relatively new.
